The Land of Arrentia had known peace for hundreds of years; its humble ruler, Queen Krelo the Just, had sat on the throne since her coronation seventy years ago. During her reign the Queendom saw the execution of the dark wizard Qal, the taming of the dragon Liceander, and the construction of the great Temple of the Blessed in the Arrentish capital of Dromay.

But last night, Krelo left the bounds of this world to join her ancestors in the stars... and her three daughters, dark and beautiful and terrible, each think they deserve the right to rule in her stead.

For whom will you fight: Prendota, the kind but youngest? Jocasta, the eldest but born of cruelty and fear? Or mysterious Zosia, who lurks in the shadows and is rumored to regularly consume the blood of orphans?

Answer the call, and restore peace to the Queendom - and pray you have chosen wisely.

To sign up, simply say whether you want to play or be a replacement, whether or not you have PMs, your AIM if you have it, and your email address. I'm "eccoraven" via g-mail. IRC is the best way to get in touch with me outside of PMs, as I only check my email every other day or so.

The standard mafia rules apply: don't do anything that could be construed as "not in the spirit of mafia." But I'm not a huge stickler for rules, so as long as you don't break the game it'll probably be fine. For instance, feel free to edit your posts to fix things like formatting, even if you get caught by the ninja; just be honest about it.

However, please remember that I reserve the right to punish someone as I see fit for whatever thing they do.

My unique quirk: please ##unvote before re##voting. I will not count revotes without unvotes unless you are a double-voter. It doesn't matter what votebot says; votebot is just for your convenience, only the votecounts I present are to be assumed accurate and reliable. If you think you see a mistake in a votecount I have posted, please contact me privately so I may check it.

Posting is very important to me, however I will not expect you to be abuzz with posting things left and right. If you haven't posted for a while, I'll probably prod you with a PM casually, maybe with a "hey go post GO POST NOWWWW". If you have a reason why you're not posting, feel free to tell me -- I like to think I'm fairly reasonable. If you aren't posting and it's going to be a chronic problem, I'll ask if you want a replacement; it's up to you, I just want everyone to have a good time, you included. However, if you're put on probation for more than a day, then I will replace you without warning. So don't get probated!

Try not to post like an illiterate. I know capitalization and grammar are difficult, but you're all adults. A modicum of effort goes a long way. If your posting gets especially bad, you even risk being put on probation and then replaced. Neither you nor I want to have to deal with that.

Every game day will have a deadline. If majority voting has not been reached by then, the day will end with no execution. The Day 1 deadline will be at most 5 days long, and they'll only get shorter! Note that if I am ever for some reason unavailable for a deadline I've set, you should assume it to be floating.

If you are living with, or otherwise have direct RL contact with, another player in the game, please tell me when signing up. It won't affect your chances for playing the game, I just like to know these things in advance.

Anyway! This game is for 25 players. Players new and old are all welcome, however deferential treatment will be given to newer players.

Here we go!

Hooray! Everyone except Jamuraan should have their role PMs; check your inboxes and emails. Thank you for being patient with me!

For reference, all the role PMs look something like this:

A Sample PM posted:

Varinn - Enhidu - Townsperson (town-aligned vanilla)Queen Krelo the Just was an honest and true ruler of the land; she was a skilled diplomat, a brave defender of peace, and a humble servant of the Holy Wood. Everyone who spoke with her felt like they were exalted on high. Her death has left a deep hole in your hearts. But, her youngest daughter Prendota, despite being thrice removed from the throne, has that same quality about her, that deep, fundamental kindness. Her sisters Jocasta the Terrible and Zosia the Dark are higher up in the line of succession, true, but you are siding with Prendota the Beautiful, and so is the vast majority of the kingdom. Still, the usurped are starting a war over it, but you and the rest of the Queendom will just need to make them realize that, succession laws be damned, this is what's best for the whole Queendom.
You are part of Prendota's Faction! You seek to put Lady Prendota onto the throne of Arrentia. To that end, you win when all non-town aligned players have been eliminated from the game.
You currently have no outstanding powers or abilities.
You are vanilla and you are town-aligned.

Flips will look like this:
